"I would say that pay for new entrants to archaeology is not bad at all". are you taking the piss?
i started an apprenticeship in a garage in 1977 and was earning ?20.00 per week then. since then i've been to college, got a degree and am only earning ?50.00 per day. by comparison this is f*****g awful.
if i went back into the motor trade i could easily take home ?500 per week, the money in archaeology is terrible, especially when you find out what the unit you are working for is charging for private jobs!and at least then i wouldnt get laid off at the end of every job or at holiday time and xmas. really this should not be at the top of anyones career list. it is bloody interesting though (bugger)
